At 08:00 this morning, its center was located over the sea about 770 kilometers east of Sanya City, Hainan Province (latitude 17.3 degrees north, longitude 116.7 degrees east). The maximum wind force near the center is 8 (18 meters/second), and the minimum central pressure is 998 hPa, with a wind circle radius of 160-220 kilometers.
